You have over a million reasons to be thankful for the countless thousands of people visiting Door County yearly. Destination Door County took time this week to celebrate the over $1.08 million it distributed in 2024 to projects across the peninsula. The 19 total projects the fund supported were used for everything from building new restrooms at Brussels Town Park and the Kolberg Athletic Field to installing new boat launches at Potawatomi State Park and Sturgeon Bay’s Sawyer Park. In total, Destination Door County’s Community Investment Fund has awarded over $1.9 million in grants since the program began in May 2023. Destination Door County's Jon Jarosh says it has been amazing to see how these funds have been used and the difference they have made in the community.
Jarosh is thankful for the Door County Community Foundation for their assistance in administering the program. The next round of grants will be announced in the coming weeks, putting the organization over the $2 million mark in giving. The Destination Door County Community Investment Fund is funded in part by the room tax dollars generated from overnight visitors to the area.
